Chapter 207 If you say he stole it, then he stole it!

"Don't worry about this. Qarth stole our brewing technology and refused to give it back, so we take coercive measures to get the technology back. Isn't this unreasonable?"

Jack has already thought of an excuse, and even if the other city-states in Essos really unite, he is not afraid.

Just wake up the sleeping Poseidon.

The current Poseidon is 118 meters long and stays in the deep sea below the Seychelles Islands all day long.

As the number of believers increased, Poseidon grew larger and larger.

With the blessing of the power of faith, the original 20-year growth period can be surpassed in just one or two years.

It is estimated that in half a year at most, Poseidon's size will reach his adult size of 200 meters.

It's just that Poseidon no longer needs to continue eating. He is harvesting the power of faith every day, trying to condense his godhead as soon as possible.

Jack also asked Poseidon why he was so anxious to condense his godhead, but Poseidon said that he just wanted to verify a conjecture.

She felt like her soul had been torn directly from Jack's soul by some force.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to see Jack's soul when she was inside the soul.

And his soul is like a body, composed of dense threads extending outward from Jack's soul.

Therefore, Poseidon wanted to condense his godhead as soon as possible.

If godhead is imprinted on Jack's soul.

That means Poseidon's soul is indeed just a part torn from Jack's soul.

And it's still not broken.

So Jack is not afraid that the Free Trade Cities of Essos will unite to attack Atlantis.

However, although Jack is confident, his people do not know the current situation of Poseidon.

After all, Poseidon has not appeared for more than half a year now.

If it weren't for the response from praying at the Tanah Lot Temple, they would have suspected that something was wrong with Poseidon.

"Your Majesty, our brewery is heavily guarded, and each worker is responsible for a different processing technology. The brewing technology should not be leaked, right?"

Asidol's face was slightly tense. Brewing technology was one of the pillars of Atlantis. If something went wrong, things would be very serious.

The most important thing is that he didn't receive any news about this matter!

Strictly speaking, this was a dereliction of duty on his part.

Jack was stunned for a moment, then realized and waved his hand, "Of course the brewing technology has not been leaked. This is the cornerstone of the empire, so naturally it cannot really be leaked."

"Your Majesty, do you mean to slander Qarth?"

Asidol reacted instantly. This was to slander Qarth and bring Qarth into trouble.

"What is slander?" Jack's face straightened.

“Our empire has three naval fleets, each fleet has 210 warships and 6,000 warriors.

He, Qarth, held up a standing army of five thousand. If we say he stole it, he just stole it! "

On the Westeros continent, it is difficult for the Atlantis army to support in large quantities due to factors such as distance.

But it's different when it comes to Qarth. Qarth's territory is just that small, and it's also the center of trade exchanges between the East and the West. Naturally, it's worth a visit by the Imperial Navy's Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group in person.

And this is the first step in the expansion of the empire. Jack currently has 13 giant merchant ships in his hands.

In addition to the Poseidon, which is needed for daily travel, and the Black Pearl, which is used for business reception, there are 11 giant merchant ships.

Jack is preparing to form eleven naval fleets around these eleven giant ships.

Because the giant ship was called an aircraft carrier by Jack after its transformation, these naval fleets were also called aircraft carrier battle groups.

Now three naval fleets have been formed, with a total of 700 warships and 20,000 people.

The annual investment of three million gold dragons is naturally not to reason with other trading city-states.

Atlantis was Jack's word, so no one objected to Jack's plan.

After the meeting ended, everyone basically finalized the "Punisher Plan" for Qarth.

Before that, they need to prepare the ground for public opinion.

Three days later.

The Poseidon brew in Atlantis was suddenly cut off for two days.

Then Atlantis announced a shocking news.

Atlantis stated that the royal family of Qarth had stolen the manufacturing technology of Poseidon Brew, and they had conclusive evidence.

It is hoped that the royal family of Qarth will immediately hand over the stolen technology and compensate Atlantis for the loss of 40 million golden dragons.

The news was quickly brought back to their respective city-states by the merchants.

Many city-states were shocked, and they also tried to steal Atlantis' Poseidon brewing technology and fine salt production technology.

But Atlantis's breweries and salt factories do not allow outsiders to approach them. Moreover, each worker is only responsible for one job, and there are seagulls constantly monitoring them, so there is no chance of acquiring complete technology.

All the city-states were curious about how Qarth stole Atlantean brewing technology.

Of course, some people suspect that this is Atlantis' excuse to blackmail Qarth.

Because Qarth did not explicitly prohibit Atlantean merchant ships from docking for supplies.

But they secretly increased the docking fee at Atlantis tenfold.

In addition to this, there are various high taxes on Atlantis merchandise.

For example, Atlantis now produces a huge amount of fine salt. The Qarth royal family will increase taxes dozens of times, forcing merchants to increase prices. Once the price increases, ordinary people cannot afford it.

At this time, the royal family of Qarth will buy this batch of fine salt and then sell it to the nobles of Qarth.

This makes life even more difficult for the merchants of Qarth. After the rebellion of the Thirteen Giants was quelled, the royal family continued to suppress the merchants. Now they finally have a way to make money, but it was ruined by the royal family, and they secretly ate it and didn't let them eat it.

This also led to the fact that Atlantis's goods only occupied the market in the central and western regions of Essos, and there was basically no market in the east of Qarth.

Because the cost was too high and Qarth was secretly doing bad things, naturally no merchant was willing to do a loss-making business.

However, it will take some time for this matter to spread to Qarth, and the same is true for some distant city-states.

During this time, Jack ordered the Second Navy Fleet of the Empire stationed in the Free Trade Bay to carry 3,000 people and a large amount of supplies to Yimen Tower.

The supplies included various farm tools, livestock cubs, and the most important food and medicine.

Among these 3,000 people, most were ordinary civilians, with only a few craftsmen of various types and gray cardinals of the Poseidon Party.

They all signed the pioneer contract, and the empire would give them a large sum of "life money". For this, they would need to spend 20 years of their own time to go to the unknown continent to open up the territory.

During this period, if they unfortunately died, the empire would give an additional compensation to the immediate family members of the victims.

But even with such generous conditions, they could only barely gather 3,000 people.

After all, life on the Free Trade Coast is getting more and more prosperous now, and even having enough food is no longer a luxury, so naturally no one is willing to take risks on the unknown continent.

The unknown is always the most terrifying!

Yimen Tower is a ruined city located on the north bank of Sothoryos. It is located in a large delta, at the mouth of the Yi River, with the Summer Sea and Axe Island to the north, most of the islands of the Basilisk Islands to the west, Yilin deep in the jungle to the south, and Green Hell beyond Yilin. Nymeria once stopped here when she led the Rhoynar to migrate. This city was once a colony of the ancient Ghis Empire. The Dragon King of the Valyrian Free Fortress completely destroyed the Yimen Tower surrounded by high walls. Queen Nymeria rejected the Pirate King of the Basilisk Islands' demand for an annual tribute of 30 boys and girls in exchange for living on Toad Island. She took the Rhoyna and settled them in Imun Tower, which had been abandoned for at least a thousand years. When Nymeria's ship stopped here, some of the Rhoyna set out up the Shuo River to Imun Forest. Although the land of Sothoryos is very fertile, many Rhoyna contracted various diseases and parasites, and were either hunted or tortured by the high temperatures of the following year. One day, several ships bound for the ancient city disappeared overnight, and Nymeria decided to abandon Imun Tower and return to the sea. Today, Imun Tower is still abandoned, and the jungle is constantly eroding it.
